BBQ Holdings has found another way to appeal to the customer on the run.

The parent franchiser of Famous Dave's will open its first cafeteria-line model to replace the full-service restaurant in Coon Rapids that closed in September.

BBQ Holdings, the parent of Famous Dave’s, continues to diversify its portfolio with the acquisition of 25-unit casual dining chain Granite City Food and Brewery. The asset sale comes two months after the Minneapolis-based operator Granite City Food & Brewery Ltd. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
